Task 3.1/2 Production Log - Emma

Using Basic Tools:

Drawing -

I used the pen tool to re-draw the outside of the can that were erased by mistake when erasing the other lines.

Free Transform -

Here I used the Free Transform tool to rescale the soda can and make it bigger so that it filled up more space on the stage.

Using the Free Transform tool I rotated the lightning bolt to ensure that it would fit on the can.

Editing - 

I zoomed in on the can and then used the erase tool to get rid of the black lines from the original image that I didn't want to use.

Using Objects: Symbols

I had to convert the text to a symbol (movie clip) so that I could later use animation to make it move.

Using Colour Tools: 

Here I used the colour properties tool to choose the colour of the can and I later used the paint bucket to fill in the rest of the can.

I used the eye dropper tool to select the same colour as the lighting bolt so that I could change the colour of the sun.

After not liking the way that using the exact same colours on the can looked I used the colour properties tool to change the colours to a more muted version of light blue and yellow for the rising sun.

Using Text Tools: Text

I used the text tool in Flash to write the slogan of the advert using the font Impact because I wanted the text to be bold and a large feature on the advert.

Manipulating Objects:

I grouped together all of the images that made up the can so that I can move it freely around the ad without having to put all of the images together separately again.

Animation: 

The animation I used was a simple one that zooms the text in from nothing to be at the centre of the stage. 

Assets: 

Here I had to convert this image to a raster image so that I could erase the background.

Saving and Exporting for the Web:
